ERROR MESSAGE

When you turn on Paintcan, it will do a reset first. If everything is fine with it then you will see the DMX
address on the display at the end of the reset procedure. If you get an 01er or 02er or 07er then you
have a problem. You can of course get multi errors. The error codes will flash for 5 times and then the
Paintcan

will automatically start another reset to see if it can fix the problem. This will go on for a total of

3 resets.
At the end of 3 resets if the Paintcan has less than 3 error messages then the channels that can work
properly will do so and the ones showing the error will not work. If the Paintcan has 3 errors, then all the
channels cannot work properly, so the Paintcan will not work.
Here’s a list of the errors:-

01Er:

(Color-wheel error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture when the magnetic-indexing
circuit malfunctions; meaning that the sensor failed or magnet missing or the stepper-motor is defective
or

the driver chip on the main circuit card. The result is that the color wheel is not located in the default

position after the reset is completed.

02Er:

(Cyan-color mixing leaves error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture when the
magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions; meaning that the sensor failed or magnet missing or the
stepper-motor is defective or the driver chip on the main circuit card. The cyan leaves are not located in
the default position after the reset is completed.

07Er:

(Zoom-error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture when the magnetic-indexing circuit
malfunctions; meaning the sensor failed or magnet missing or the stepper-motor is defective or the
driver chip on the main circuit card. The zoom is not located in the default position after the reset is
completed.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1) All screws for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must

not be corroded.

2) There must not be any deformation on the fixture or the suspension point. In other words check
the truss, ceiling, threaded rods or whatever is holding up the fixture. That also includes the safety
cable or chain!
3) Mechanical moving parts must not show any traces of wearing and must not rotate out of balance.
4) The electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediment.

We recommend frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint- free cloth. Never use alcohol or
solvents. PLEASE clean around the fans and any air vents. If you do not do this regularly you will
dramatically decrease the life of the lamp and the fixture itself. If it cannot “breath” it is going to
die!!! Use a vacuum cleaner NOT an air hose/can. Unless you prefer to blow the dust all over the
colors and gobos!!!

There are no serviceable parts inside the device, except for the lamp. Please refer to the
instructions under “Installation instructions” for lamp change.
Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local dealer.
